Witnessing & Training

“A lack of knowledge creates fear but to seek knowledge creates courage”

George Bernard Shaw


Approved Witnessing

As a DMQ Approved Witness candidates can arrange an outing with myself for an accompanied witnessed stalk.

      Either

  • On my ground
  • On your own ground
Please get in touch to discuss availability for a witnessed stalk or if there is anything else we can help you with in achieving your DSC Level 2

“I believe your Level 2 experience should be a memorable, relaxed and most importantly an enjoyable experience”

DMQ strongly recommends that candidates obtain sufficient practical experience under the guidance of a competent person before registering for DSC2 or considers some of the preparatory training provided by some Assessment Centers for DSC2. Candidates are also advised to consult the Best Practice Guides  issued for England and Wales or the Best practice Guides for Scotland, depending on where you live or stalk.”

Training & advice

Support for DSC Level 2 Candidates
As an Approved Witness, I am frequently approached by prospective candidates interested in enrolling for their DSC Level 2. Many express uncertainty about their readiness for the certification, often feeling overwhelmed by the requirements or unsure about their level of competence due to lack of previous assessments.

At Deer Management Services, I am passionate about guiding and training candidates from all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether you’re looking to learn new skills, refresh your knowledge, or draw on my years of field experience, I am here to help.

I can arrange tailored outings or meetings where we can go through the DSC Level 2 process step-by-step. During this time, I will assess your current knowledge, observe how you perform in the field, and offer practical advice and training to help you meet the certification requirements efficiently and confidently.

If you’re interested in learning more or would like to arrange a session, please get in touch—I look forward to helping you on your DSC Level 2 journey.
